But just days before they were due to walk down the aisle, the two split.

The greatest love story never told (2024)

One could say if Gigli is the beginning of everything, this documentary about the making of the film and the album This is me … now might have been the end of it all. Named after a photo album/scrapbook Ben gave Jennifer for Christmas, this documentary features behind-the-scenes footage of Jlo's work on the album and subsequent film. Perhaps most notable was the telling moment when Affleck realized Jlo was passing the scrapbook around for her creative team to read.

“She was like, 'I've been reading and people… this is the kind of inspiration. I showed them the book,” Affleck recalls in the film. “I was like, 'You showed all the musicians all these letters that…' and they were like, 'Yeah, we're calling you Pen Affleck!' And I was like, 'Oh my God.'”

“I really found the beauty and the poetry and the irony in the fact that it's the greatest love story never told,” Affleck later said. “Making a record about it is like telling it.”
